Post about your DPPt & HGSS playthroughs, teams, shiny hunting, battle frontier streaks, contests, trainer card star completion, etc
>>58981550ill start by saying im resetting for a shiny platinum starter, only 1600 in but feels like ive been at this for a while -_-way harder than the RSE hunt
>>58981550Almost done taking a bunch of guys up from HG/Pt through the Ultra games. I feel no rush once they’re in Home so I’ll take a break after they arrive to catalog everything.
>>58981562why not rng abuse it
>>58981591as in for dex completion or something else?
>>58981641I’m getting ribbons on them, some but not all are shiny. I like having pokemon with ribbons that can’t be gotten on something someone just goes and catches. They’ve got a little story and journey to them that the bottlecapped incineroar stuffed full of vitamins in 5 minutes you meet online doesn’t.
>>58981550now THIS is Pokemon
>>58981681thats kino, i get the idea, i only rly play in gens 3-5 for similar reasons, too easy to build some turbo maxed out mon in the newer ones
>>58981550got all 3 recently :)
who caught a munchlax?
>>58982176why is shaymin making that face
>>58982192fuck honey treesnever even bothered with it bc it so aids
>>58981550You've added Leaf, Brendan and May I see. Nice.
>>58981638Not as fun :P my brain is only scratched through playing with the rng gods
pls no let gen die
>>58981550I'm playing Pearl on a save file with the cute charm glitch. I just did some tweaking to reach Sunyshore City early to get a Mantyke. I'm trying to use Pokemon I've never used before but there aren't many at this point.
>>58983958ah its funyou can even get infinite pp ups and master balls from the lotto
>>58985870what a bizarre team, using a cherrim sounds cool though
>>58982158Kino
>>58986299i dont have HeartGold but fuck trying to buy that online, I wish some autist would produce reproduction cards that have a reliable shelf life
>>58985974it does look fun, i think i'll do the void glitch in one of my games to shiny hunt some legendaries later o3o
>>58982192I've been hunting for a shiny munchlax on and off for years on my diamond lol
>>58986584I think I got insanely lucky with HG back in 2014. The game was already sold out across the country and there was this online shop that had it for backorder. I waited for months to get HG and Platinum but in the end, they were only able to get HG so I got a completely new and sealed copy of HG and had to get a 2nd hand platinum copy
>>58987670I only played Heart Gold off a flashcart as a kid. I said fuck it and paid $120 for a HeartGold a couple years ago. I already have multiple of the Gen 3, Gen 4 Sinnoh games, and Gen 5 games, and HG or SS were the last ones I didn't own.
bummo
>>58982739Using the TID calculator still took me weeks doing just 2 trees a few times a day lel.
Anon... you did catch both of your box legendaries, right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZXWdxI6p2U
>>58988799woah, do they have the same stats? do shinyfags exploit that for faster hunting?
>>58981550Gen 5 is bad
https://youtu.be/-jshiYIGbFk>>58989522shut up retard
>>58989576this was pretty based lmao
>>589895221. It's not2. This is a Gen 4 thread
>>58988830i doubt they have the same stats but idk.i don't think it works for shiny hunting. when i tried it, if you have both the legendaries there and then leave the room and come back, only one will be left. so i assume the same happens if you save and quit. i didn't risk testing that, obviously.
>>58981550About to start a new playthrough of heart gold but I turned off the trade evolutions what team should I use
What are all the shiny hunting methods in HGSS and are they any less frustrating than FRLG?Wanted to SR for a shiny starter but with the 8100 chance and nothing to make it easier, I got frustrated pretty fast by the second day of just soft resetting.So far I'm aware of SR a starter, just wild encounters and Masuda Method and apparently, unlike the other Gen 4 games, there's no poke radar here to chain encounters.Will a PokeHex'd japanese Ditto work fine?When SRing starters, do you have to go to the Summary screen to check?
Playing Shining Pearl, and while it’s not Platinum - it’s still, dare it be said, a fun gameCaptcha sucks shit
>>58990644>When SRing starters, do you have to go to the Summary screen to check?nah, you can see if they're shiny or not when cycling through their pokeballs. it's quickbesides that, hgss are some of the easiest games to egg rng abuse in for both shinies and good ivs
>>58990701Does it also require EonTimer?While SRing a starter today on FireRed I researched about the EonTimer method and... nah, fuck that, I don't have the patience or will for that.
